    So this is completely different from using shock collars and such. ECT COULD have benefits and from what I understand, people use it as a last resort and some have found relief (severe, persistent depression comes to mind). Is it ethical? I think ECT would be more ethical than a shock collar.

    I think a shock collar would result in the person being more compliant without knowing why what they did (or didn't do) was wrong. This is generally the case with any form of physical punishment. It doesn't teach emotional/self regulation, it just teaches someone to do what is necessary to avoid being hurt.
